Forum Choice Awards - Final Call for nominations!

[shivampaw]

That's still 15% rubbish which shouldn't be on the forums. Also, I think you'll find that percentage is a little bit higher...



I'm not saying that every post is useless in your case, I'm saying that quite a large proportion are unnecessary. Oh and don't forget I'm not the only one who shares this opinion. Ryan left because of George's, yours, and a couple of others' combined efforts.

Actually I was talking to Ryan about it and we sorted it out, conclusion: it wasn't me.

Now please stop posting here if you have nothing useful to say, seems like you are the spammer here.

Swalsey, you seem to be the only one right now. You are also the one posting "rubbish" over on this thread. Besides, I think everyone posts a bit of nothing every once in a while. I'm not trying to inflate my post count, it means nothing.

This is truly sad it had such great potential but egos, rush, and arrogance brought it down best of luck to those still on the boat desperately trying to keep it a float

100% agree.

This contest is a joke, really.

We can see right from the beggining that this contest will fail again.

What surprises me is that mods allow it, they are seeing that this awards will end in disaster (yet again), but they don't do anything to prevent it.

I think Supercell staff should organize the Forum Awards, not members. It just doesn't work.

My post count speaks otherwise...but OK I'm the spammer....

Please forgive me for trying to encourage what I think most people want, a more constructive forum, with fewer posts, but far more discussion.

Agreed, but the problem is not that members are organising it, it's the members who are. Kids.

The organisation of this event is shocking, as are many of the nominees.

SilverSword had a good idea, with a lot of hope and promise, but unfortunately the people who now appear to have taken over, have lay waste to that good idea.

All I can hope is it the forumers have some common sense, and vote for those who deserve to win the awards. At least it will have an ounce of credibility then.

I sort of agree, not much.. There are some people who others don't stand a chance against and it's just a popularity contest (I get that it's the point but it's kind of easy kind of not to determine who wins on some of the categories.) BUT it still is a pretty good idea. My only wish for an awards thing like this is the mods decide, maybe..

I haven't taken over so you can drop your hate on me. The polling will probably be for the people who deserve it. There is nothing wrong with "kids" organizing an event. I don't know if Shiv or George are kids and George wasn't even organizing it.

I don't see your name anywhere in my post... but yes George and Shiv are kids. And no there is not any problem, if those kids are adequate at the organisation. In this case, they are clearly not.

If you cast your mind back to some of the great events of the forum, Forum Elite, Winter 2013 Trophy hunt etc.. ALL were organised to perfection. This, is the forum awards. it should be an even bigger event than both of those. But poor organisation has let it down, and it has become, as Perez said, a 'joke.'

The simple fact is, that the people running this event, are not the correct people to do so.

I think the idea was good in concept, but I don't see how anyone could take it seriously with the amount of nonsense and useless posts in this thread.
Is this a forum/supercell sanctioned? The original post was stickied so shouldn't Steve or Nick be helping out with this?

For instance there is a category for the most helpful forumer with less than 500 posts. I would think this would go to someone that posts occasionally and only when they have something really insightful to say. However one of the nominees has exceeded the post limit and has several hundred posts in just a few days! What is it that this award is supposed to represent?
EDIT, I see that the award has changed from less than 500 to less than 700 posts, which in my opinion indicative of the problem

In my opinion this thing has really gone of the rails and it would be best to cancel it.
